Please bring back the old Halo 2 ranking system! It was undoubtedly the best ranking system in any video game ever!
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY AND JUST BRING IT BACK!
Halo 2 was horribly flawed, people could cheat their ranks very easily.
although i agree the halo 2 ranking system was great halo 5 is way better at matching with your skill level. almost every game i play is close
ya but the xbox one is much harder to chear or mod. The principle behind the system was way better. I am onyx 1820 in FFA and have yet to play a game within 7 kills of mine. I capped out at 42 in halo 2. In swat I went 10 for 10 in wins and massivly positve kd and got platinum ranking when a teammate of mine with a worse kd got onyx. Halo 5 game play is amazing, but the halo 2 rankings were the best. Tough to rank up, nearly impossible to get to the top. 1-50 is simple and straight forward
classic halo ranking system please! i miss the grind of halo 2 and 3, was so happy the day i reached 45 on halo 3 on lone wolves
I completely agree that they should put back the old ranking system. Everyone who plays FFA gets ONYX. I played so so bad in Slayer yet still got platinum. But I bet my money that they’ll just reset the ranks and adjust their algorithms.
But we should keep posting stuff like this to get their attention that we want the older ranking system!
I actually like the ranking system they have now. You can’t go back 5 levels because you got stuck with Timmy no thumbs 6 games in a row.

Ummm, the first sentence is terribly wrong, also its the first month of the game being released you have to wait and eventually the good players will rise and the bad will fall and you’ll vs. People your skill level. Cry more.
Thank you OP! SAID IT ALL RIGHT THERE. Halo 2s ranking system and H2/3 Matchmaking was PURREEE GOLDDDD. I mean dude you had a great selection of competitive ranked playlist n awesome rank emblems next to your name, you were always playing people with similar skill level n performance as you (sorry you can’t get locked into a diamond rank just cuz your party was being nice n let noob boy play with them n carried you to victory so now your a ‘diamond’ player n nobody can take that away from you. Bs. Tired of these 4k-20d no mic run n gunners ruining my team play experience. I expect it at low levels but gimme a break when does a player get to play only with players of a similar overall skill as far as matching goes. If I want a amateur on my team I’ll invite him. Also if I wanna play amateurs and win 50-12 I’ll start a new tag or play social. MY STATS, not my crappy matched up teams performance as a whole, should determine my rank UNLESS ITS A CLAN MATCH! How is it hard to see that I’m getting 55-65 accuracy and going positive and decent assists and yet I derank after a match where I was on a 2v4 team in slayer for gods sake. Only after noob #4 decides to go -25 before he quits do I even have a chance of catching up in a lot of games. H2/3 had none of these issues and the PROS (StK n such) were basically hovering at lvl 25-32 because the rank system was THAT WELL BALANCED you didn’t even need all 50 levels. N to keep a level 25-26 you had to defend that title! Now its just 'oh I’m onyx now I’m pro, cool black asterisk! I wonder how many black asterisks I’ll play this match n if I’ll be lucky enough to have a unranked guy (or three!!! Not kidding!!) On my team. Oh, wait, IT DOESNT MATTER CUZ IM ALREADy BLACK ASTERISK AND BASICALLY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW OFF OR UNLOCK NEXT TO MY NAME BUT A TEXT NUMBER UNDERNEATH MY BLACK ASTERISK! and best of all, ILL NEVER HAVE MY PRETTY ONYX SYMBOL TAKEN CUZ ITS MINE FOREVVERRR. I remember having the level 25 in H2(or 3) and hearing people be like ‘OH -Yoink-!!’ In the pregame lobby cuz they’d never seen one before and me knowing I’ll lose that -Yoink- if I lose to these level 22-23s n have to try to get a killer winning streak going to earn it back or hold it. And every game felt like the championship because you essentially could lose or gain 1-2 ranks EACH GAME depending on the opponents levels. That put the pressure on so good! Plus u knew who to trust as a teammate cuz their level number MEANT SOMETHING. I have no idea if a diamond or onyx guy is actually good or got lucky one night 2 weeks ago when I get one on my team. That’s really frustrating. N the random unranked guys…wtf. Your gonna gamble my rank by teaming me with essentially an unproven player? Why? Why not just let his record build him up to where he plays n if he blasts through level 1-15 then so be it but until then leave him the fk off my team. Noon injection in this game is horrible it makes every game feel like a social match.
